“Blinding Lights” breaks the previous record held by Post Malone’s “Circles”, which stayed in the Top 10 for 39 weeks. “Blinding Lights” has also spent the longest time in the Top 5, with a total of 43 weeks.

The song is also on its way to breaking another record, spending the most time in the Hot 100, with 65 full weeks. The current record is being held by Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” with 87.

“At first I felt like I went overboard with ambition. I’m ambitious, but I thought maybe it was too much. But it wasn’t until people liked ‘Blinding Lights” that I was like, ‘This is so not what now is, and people loved it anyway,’” The Weeknd told Variety about the song’s initial success.

While The Weeknd’s song is breaking records, the singer wasn’t nominated for any Grammys this year.

The record for most weeks in the top five was previously shared by Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” and “Closer” by The Chainsmokers and Halsey. Both tracks spent 27 weeks in the top five, but The Weeknd managed to break their record with 28 weeks logged in that same region.

“Blinding Lights” was released on November 29th, 2019 as the second single from The Weeknd’s fourth studio album After Hours. It recently won two trophies at the MTV VMAs, including the biggest award of the night—video of the year.

When it comes to the rest of the Billboard Hot 100 entries for this week, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion returned to no. 1 with “WAP”. BTS’ “Dynamite” took the no. 2 spot, while “Laugh Now Cry Later” by Drake and Lil Durk hit no. 3.

“Blinding Lights” joins “Heatless,” two ‘80s vibes singles with echo-drenched synthesizers, that are much more upbeat than the songs on last year’s EP My Dear Melancholy.

Blinding Lights was first featured in an advertisement for Mercedes-Benz’s new EQC model. The Weeknd also starred in the car manufacturer ad. 

The Weeknd last full-length, Starboy, was released in 2016. “Blinding Lights” and “Heatless” joins “Lost in the Fire” and “Power Is Power,” which we think that The Weeknd’s next full-length album is very much imminent.
